Easter bunnies everywhere!

Hello everyone from Ten Gables Cottage, I went out for a little walk and decided it was high time to put out some Easter decorations! I usually do some things in the yard to welcome my grandchildren when they come for an egg hunt. I fill many eggs with coins and a few dollars for that egg hunt. They love it! I don't do that until they arrive, but the decorations will get me in the mood! It is a glorious and hot day here today. Everything has greened up nicely even though we have not had much rain in a while! The heat index is in the 90's today, so it feels like Summer rather than Spring. I joined the KOA so I can swim everyday, so for the past week, my friend and I have been going to the pool and exercising. Feels great! I found a wooden bunny I had bought years ago at a craft show and put him in with the ornamental kale.....he seems quite happy there!


















Out front, I always decorate the base of the huge live oak tree. I put aother wooden bunny out there and a bunch of plastic eggs. They are big and the tree is on a slight hill, so I use Spanish moss to keep them from rolling around.



















When the grandchildren come, they will roll them around for fun!
Here us a close up telling you to have a "hoppy Easter". I found a wreath to hang on the front porch. It looks a little worn, but I love the carrots hanging down. This is such a great time of the year! Hope you are having fun and being a little creative, too.

  1. So I guess if the temps are in the 90s you don't get chocolate eggs for the grandchildren...
